BWUHAHAHAHA i absolutely love this thread everyone is so opinionated and passionate ^___^...but oh dear what can you do you either like her or you don't...i think it's absolutely silly that people don't like her even though they don't even know her but eh - that's their problem

anyhow, i hated what she wore in her last public outing...the hat was ewww...but i guess being pregnant doesn't really give her many dressing options...hey skin is still flawless - wahhh i've seen pregnant woman who's skin kinda went strange... blotchy or somthing...

A driving offence gets Crown Princess Mary's father in trouble with the law Crown Princess Mary's father, John D. Donaldson, came into a different kind of contact with the Danish police on Tuesday than he is used to, daily newspaper metroXpress reported.

On his way home from a reception at the University of Aarhus, the mathematics professor got stuck in a traffic jam caused by a 15,000-runner relay at Marselisborg.

Too impatient to wait for the runners to pass, Donaldson made a U-turn across an unbroken white line in the road in his royal blue Mitsubishi SUV.

The federal government paid more than $115,000 on travel for the former Tasmanian real estate agent and her husband, Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark, during the 13-day trip in February and March this year.

Accommodation for the royal couple and their bodyguards - also provided by the Australian government - cost more than $62,000.

i like the outfit, simple and comfortable - and the colours look good on her =]

@sm1939 - i've heard many people say this too ^__^ ...i'm going to say it's her eyes...you know some people when they smile their eyes smile as well and crease into Mcdonald arcs well it doesn't really happen when Mary smiles...which give her this 'cold' expression...but remember 'looks can be deceving' she can be the nicest person for all you know =]

Maybe its her eyes? Sometimes they can get quite large ... hahaha!! But I like Mary - I like how she interacts with people and how she always thinks about others - she'll go and talk to them and shake their hands etc. When she visited Sydney this year, I went to one of her appearances, and what struck me most was that she took her time to meet almost everyone! And considering that we were waiting there for what seemed like ages! I'm glad she did!! She seemed very considerate, patient (didn't rush... she seemed to have this stregth and her actions were very deliberate... by this I mean that she knew what she was doing, didn't let others rush her... at the same time she reacted to things - like you know how she helped that photographer that fell into the fountain at that stamp fair? well something like that... she wasn't tunnel visioned, but reacted to things quickly but at the same time she didn't let others rush her).

Wow, Mary's attending so many events and she's already in her... what, sixth month?? Do expectant mothers still suffer from morning sickness in their sixth month? Coz Mary's looking very well IMO!!

that's a fallacy. your example can be compared in the same level if it involved wearing the same type of clothes all the time. that's obviously impossible. besides, the fact of listening to music needs to be much more varied or people may become crazy. letizia for example just used 2 or 3 clothes and accesories from international designers and she normally uses spanish ones, so that proves it's not impossible. however, the list with mary is much longer and what was even more was the fact that she posed for a danish magazine to promote danish fashion and had clothes from international designers on...

i really agree with what xandra and marengo said. it couldn't have been better said.

I do not understand how the need for variety when it comes to music isn't also applicable to clothes. We wear clothes everyday, in the same way perhaps that others listen to music everyday (although for me, there are some days where I don't even listen to music, but I never have days when I dont have clothes on! I'm not one of those people )

But perhaps in a limited sense you're right ... so perhaps my comparison wasn't really that appropriate - maybe I need to make it more similar.

Okay then here it is: would it be appropriate for Alexandra to only listen to Danish music? Would it be appropriate for Letizia to only read Spanish newspapers or books (because she's quite involved in that area and a big supporter of journalism in spain, which is very understandable). No? Because isn't that what you're requiring from Mary - to only wear clothes from Danish designers? The fact that Letizia mostly wears clothes from Spanish designers was also raised, and it was argued that since she can do it, it is possible to limit ourselves to designers from one country. Well in the same way, one can also limit oneself to listening to musicians from one country only.... but if you don't want to do this all the time and instead sometimes listen to international musicians, what's wrong with that?

Whilst one needs variety, it would not be a good thing, as you said, if Mary as patron fo CIFF, didn't wear Danish designs. I have just been to the CPMaryMB and I know that the same poster asked whether Mary wears Danish designs. Members from that forum obliged, and posted heaps of Mary outfits made by Danish designers. Sooo many of her clothes are by Julie Fagerholt, Malene Birger, Heartmade... to name just a few Danish designers used by Mary.
